Django Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just remember before you build anything, there is more to flightsim than buggy FS9 and FSX! What kind of virtual flight interests you? Consider: Prepar3d X-plane DCS World Flightgear For FSX you'd be wanting to OC towards 4GZ+ (and look at a 750W PSU) or just get an i7-4790K. Put your flightsims and addons on a seperate drive than your OS. For multi-monitor setups I wouldn't look below a GTX770 (if you can still find any) or perhaps a GTX960. Regards, Django EGLL.

Django Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Sorry, I should have said, for FSX *alone* you'd be looking to OC an i5 at 4GHz+. FSX (and FS9) do not benefit from threaded CPUs. Regards, Django EGLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
